A Nature Walk

The spring air tastes fresh and pure Carrying the sweet scent of cinnamon rolls From someone’s kitchen The leafless branches reach out To the cloudless blue sky Bright and warming, the sun shines down Competing with the chilly morning breeze Shadows dapple the cracked sidewalk Under my feet, curled leaves crunch Leftovers from last fall Dandelions begin to poke out of the ground A sure sign that spring is here Walking with friends Talking and laughing With birds chirping overhead Wonder is all around If you just stop to enjoy it
